Wilmer Flores

Why not give him a shot in the outfield? We clearly have up to 3 OF spots open. He was our top prospect for a few years and he should be ready by now. I know he hasn't played in AAA but 5 years in the minors should be enough. I was mad last year when we had an OF spot open and didn't give it to F-Mart and instead got rid of him. Instead we gave it to Andres Torres who we knew was going to suck anyway. At least there's a chance Flores could be good. Please don't get another player like Torres for any of the OF spots next year.

Wilmer Flores

I do not understand why the Mets have not considered moving Flores to either RF or LF. He has played SS and albeit was not the second coming of Roy McMillan there, it did show that he has some athletic ability and could play the OF.

Flores is supposedly our best hitting prospect and we are virtually bare in that department in the minors and bare in that department in the majors.

He is only 20 years old and I think that if you moved him to the OF for the next 2 years in the minors it could pay very good dividends.

We are not talking here of a Hundley or a Pizza switch, two older players..actually for those older posters like myself, remember that both Yogi Berra and Elston Howard were moved to play in the OF later in their careers, but that is just an aside.
